Chapter 964: Misfortune Leads to the East
In the blink of an eye, it was December 20, and a depressed Fan Bingbin was sitting in a fancy apartment, staring at the TV in front of her in a daze, and her agent Sienna Theron was sitting next to her.
"Bing, Rui has done his best. If he hadn't tried his best to maneuver, the people in the Screen Actors Guild would have questioned the fairness of the crew's casting. ”
"I know"
Fan Bingbin still trusts Sienna very much that she picked out from the UTA mailroom. Not to mention that he gave her so many gifts, just saying that he helped her change from a trainee to a real agent, and signed that Korean girl, can make her grateful.
I thought that the Taiwanese was unwilling to help, but I didn't expect him to arrange three auditions for himself, and all of them were auditions that did not need to participate in the first audition. What she didn't expect was that as soon as the three auditions were opened, the casting director frowned because of his accent and didn't get a role. On the contrary, because of her fluent English, that Korean girl got the role of "Artificial Intelligence", which is a movie by the great director Spielberg!
As for the audition opportunities that Sienna arranged for herself, she couldn't even pass the first audition, and often let others blast out the door with one mouth.
It can be said that Fan Bingbin has had a blue nose and swollen face in Hollywood in the past two months. If this girl wasn't strong enough, and she had the backing of Sun Ziming at the back, other girls would have retreated.
"Wow, China Ming's dog (dog) is out!"
Sienna, who is three years older than Fan Bingbin, is far less mature than her, and exclaimed as soon as she saw Douglas on TV. Fan Bingbin glanced at the TV and twitched the corners of his mouth with disdain, this was a premeditated hype. When she was in Shanghai, she eavesdropped on the conversation between Sun Ziming and Guangzai, and knew that her 'boyfriend' would donate $300 million to build a vocational and technical school in Indonesia.
'Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Mr. Ming and Sun, I declare the following:
1. This is a film promotion campaign, I am engaged in the entertainment industry, and it is my obligation to provide entertainment news for everyone. If anything is wrong, please accept my sincerest apologies.
2. I promise, 'Ming? The Juan Education Foundation will donate US$300 million to the Indonesian government for the construction of two large vocational education schools to help local young people receive better vocational education. ’
After reading Douglas's statement, Sienna said incredulously: "God, isn't China Ming using his reputation to hype the film?" ”
Hearing Sienna's childish words, Fan Bingbin suddenly felt that he was wrong, and he should listen to Li Rui's advice and find a more mature agent, instead of finding a rookie who is also a fledgling. Fan Bingbin, who was already in a bad mood, saw Sienna sighing, still chattering, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Sienna, do you think China Ming deceived you?" ”
"No, I think he's great!"
Sienna, who can enter UTA as an intern, is not stupid, she is just not used to communicating with Asians with different ways of thinking, seeing that Fan Bingbin's face is very bad, she immediately knows what is wrong. However, the inherent pride of Americans made her-for-tat: "Bing, if you want to gain a foothold in Hollywood, you must first learn to fit in here, not with a Chinese way of thinking." ”
"Why didn't I learn to fit in?"
Sienna just wanted to argue, but for the sake of the gifts given to her, she still gave up the quarrel and suppressed her anger and said: "Ok, let me state first, you made me move from the mailroom into the office and became a real agent." Although it is the most inconspicuous small agent, it also helped me a lot, and also helped me sign Katie (Kim Hee-sun), so even if it is not out of professional ethics, I will stand in your position, am I right? ”
"Right"
"I'm going to sue you that you didn't learn to fit in here at all, and you still have a damn Asian mindset in your head......"
According to her own ideas, Sienna pointed out Fan Bingbin's mistakes one by one, and emphasized: "You must first give up those unrealistic illusions, your future is in Asia, not Hollywood!" You're going to go Lee way, play some roles in Hollywood, and then we'll package you as an international superstar, and then you'll go back to Asia and become a superstar.
Bing, the hardest thing for people is to face themselves! I hope you can understand that the film and television industry is a cruel battlefield. If you want to succeed, the most important thing is to face yourself squarely, be aware of your strengths and weaknesses, and not dream unrealistically all day long! ”
Fan Bingbin sneered, these are all things that he has already understood, and it is your turn to teach me a lesson?
Seeing her sneering, Sienna knew that her crisis was coming, and said calmly: "Bing, I know what you want to say, and I also know that you may fire me." But what you don't know is that there is no one else at UTA who wants to take over my job other than the lowest level of agents like me.
The reality is so cruel, you and Katie are both destined little actors, and signing you for those experienced agents will not make money at all! ”
Speaking of this, Sienna lowered her voice and threatened in a low voice: "Moreover, I also know that Rui is not your 'boyfriend'. Your boyfriend must be a big guy, a big guy bigger than Rui, otherwise it would be impossible for you to be so luxurious.
Bing, do you know why I cooperated with you to do so many tricks, implying that you are Rui's girlfriend? Because I know that your boyfriend won't treat me badly, and this is an opportunity for me.
You have fulfilled me, you are my best friend, and I will do everything I can to help you. If you spoil my chances, we'll be enemies! ”
Fan Bingbin, who was scheming and ambitious, didn't expect that he was actually threatened by a small agent, and said coldly: "Are you threatening me?" ”
"No, I'm teaching you how to fit into Hollywood - we have common interests, we should be partners, even if you want to kill me!"
Fan Bingbin is scheming, strictly speaking, he is still a freshly graduated student, how can Sienna, who has been in the big dye vat of Hollywood for two years, have scheming? As soon as she threatened her, Fan Bingbin immediately thought of the stern nature of the consequences, if Mr. Sun knew this, what would happen to him if he couldn't keep it, at least go back to China for sure!
"Ok, tell me, what are you worth to me?"
Sienna secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the agent can't betray the employer, unless she wants to get out of this circle! Seeing that this yellow girl softened, Sienna hurriedly pointed to the TV and said, "Bing, your chance is him." Douglas is China Ming's most loyal dog, as long as your language is passing, and your acting skills are passable, I will go to him to help you get a role.
Rui is a big man, and he is China Ming's right-hand man, you can only befriend him, not offend him. Believe me, China Ming can have today's achievements, he must be a very rational person, he can't blame Rui because of you. ”
Fan Bingbin, who is extremely strong in his heart, his eyes lit up, this foreign girl is right, Li Rui can arrange some audition opportunities for himself at most, but Douglas can directly decide the role.
"Ok, then you can help me get a VIP ticket for tomorrow's premiere, and I want to sit closer to the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"."
This is a step for both sides, Sienna Gegege, who had been prepared, smiled and promised: "No problem, I'll help you get VIP tickets now, and ensure that you and Katie have the best seats." You are my employer, and it is my obligation! ”
Sienna came out of Fan Bingbin's apartment, drove her second-hand Nissan car, and went to the headquarters of the Light and Shadow Group in a puff of smoke, and found Li Rui, who was busy.
Li Rui, who was watching the feedback on the release of the film, didn't raise his head and asked, "It's done?" ”
Sienna, who was still tough with Fan Bingbin in the apartment just now, became a harmless little white rabbit here, standing in front of Li Rui in a proper manner, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, she will go to Douglas in the future, and she won't trouble you again." ”
Li Rui, who led the troubled waters to Douglas, raised his head and stared at Sienna for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Miss, you are so bold that you dare to threaten me?" If you're not tight-mouthed, get the hell out of Hollywood! ”
As the deputy general manager of Light and Shadow Film Company and the vice president of ESPN, it is too easy for Li Rui to ruin Sienna's early career, even if she once had the courage to negotiate a deal with him. Now that the deal has been reached, Li Rui's status and power still make her shudder, and she hurriedly whispered: "Don't worry, I won't dare next time." ”
"That's good", Li Rui opened the drawer, took out two VIP tickets, and pushed them in front of Sienna.
"This is what you want, remember, Miss Fan must keep her mouth shut about anything!"
"Understood!"
After Sienna left the office, Li Rui threw away the summary of the situation and smoked leisurely. I don't have the time or energy to play with Miss Fan, anyway, Douglas thinks of himself as the big guy's hunting dog, and it's better for him to worry about this kind of big guy's private affairs.
Douglas, that guy, has the ability and the means. That guy is a good dog of the big guy, in addition to being loyal to the big guy, everyone else is also exquisite and never offended, I don't know what will happen to Miss Fan, who is not bad at scheming and ambition?
Li Rui, who successfully led the troubled waters to his friend, did not feel anything bad at all, but was a little eager to see Douglas's troubled appearance. Originally, a personal assistant like Douglas should have to worry about this matter, but he is a dignified deputy general manager, how can he worry about these small things?
